Best Answer

The harsh climate and rugged terrain of the Northwest made it less appealing for Spanish settlers. Additionally, the Spanish focused their colonization efforts more on regions with greater access to resources and strategic importance, such as Central and South America.

Were the Spaniards the first group to settle in Jamaica?

No. The first people to settle in Jamaica were the Arawak and Taino people, indigenous tribes from South America. They arrived between the year 4000 BC and 1000 BC. However, the next people to arrive were the Spaniards, when Columbus claimed Jamaica for Spain in 1494 AD. The Spanish stayed here until the English kicked them out in the year 1665 AD. So, the Spaniards were not the first group to settle in Jamaica, but thet were the first Europeans to do so.
